(1) In Judaism and Christianity, the communication of God’s word, originally thought to be sensibly perceptible. "[T]he theophanies in which God appears to, and communicates with, the patriarchs or distinguished individuals, and above all the prophets, are not included in this concept. . . . It is not the experiences of the senses of sight, touch, or taste that constitute authority, but exclusively those within the sphere of hearing" (Gershom Scholem, On Jews and Judaism in Crisis [New York: Schocken, 1976], p. 265).

The book of Revelation, also known as "The Revelation to John" and "St. John's Apocalypse," is the primary source of inspiration for Christian prophecy believers. The last book and only apocalypse in the New Testament, it was likely written in the last decade of the first century, during a period of great turmoil after the destruction of the second Jewish Temple by the Romans in 70 A.D. Biblical scholars are skeptical of the historical claim that the Apostle John was its author. Millions of Christians have taken the events so vividly described in Revelation as a blueprint for what will happen in the last days as God brings an end to this world. But beyond that, many ideas and symbols from Revelation have found a place in the wider culture, including: the Mark of the Beast, represented by the number "666;" the seven seals; the four horsemen of the Apocalypse; the Whore of Babylon; and the battle of Armageddon.
